Preparation
For a successful installation on a remote computer running any Windows XP version, the option
Control panel -> Folder options -> View -> Use simple file sharing must be disabled on that
computer.
For a successful installation on a remote computer running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or
Windows 2003 Server, the option Control panel -> Windows Firewall -> Exceptions -> File and
Printer Sharing in the Control panel -> Windows Firewall -> Exceptions must be enabled on
that computer.
Acronis Snap Deploy utilizes TCP port 25001 for a remote installation. Make sure this port added to
exceptions in your firewall settings.
Installation
1. Click Install Acronis components.
2. Select the installer location from the list (Registered Components, Search removable media
or Specify location). The default selection Registered Components will use setup files from the
default C:\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\RemoteInstall folder.
3. Select the Acronis component and specify the component features you want to install (for
component features see
3.3 General rules of installation
).
4. Browse to the remote computer or specify its network name or IP address.
5. Enter the administrator’s username and password for the remote machine.
6. Specify the Acronis License Server, if the wizard asks. You must have at least one free license on
the license server to install Acronis OS Deploy Server or Acronis Snap Deploy Management Agent.
7. Installation of some Acronis components requires system restart. If you allow immediate remote
computer reboot, check the Reboot the remote computer box.
8. Click Proceed.
The Acronis component then will be installed on the remote computer. If system restart is necessary,
the remote machine will reboot or the program will prompt you to restart the remote machine,
depending on your choice in step 6.
To update an Acronis component on a remote computer, perform the same procedure.
